Johnson State College is a welcoming and supportive community for students from all over the world, and we’re happy that you are considering pursuing your college education with us. We look forward to working with you!

Please complete the following steps so that we can evaluate your application:

Submit one letter of recommendation. (Three letters of recommendation are required for students applying to a graduate program.)

Submit one writing sample.

We cannot evaluate your application until we receive all of the above documentation.

Admission Process

When the Office of Admissions receives your completed application and supporting documentation, you will be notified of our decision within three to four weeks.

If you are admitted to Johnson State College, a $300 tuition deposit is required to guarantee your space for that academic year. We will not issue the I-20 Certificate of Eligibility until your deposit has been recieved.

F-1 Student Visa Documentation

International applicants admitted to JSC, and who have provided the required financial certification and documentation, will receive an official letter of acceptance to JSC, Certificate of Eligibility (I-20), and the original copy of the Certification of Finances, from Johnson State College.

You will need these documents to apply to your U.S. embassy for an F-1 student visa.
